Great ports cannot reach the condition of maximum efficiency, without some central co-ordinating authority to direct them, any more than any great business enterprise. It is no more reasonable to expect that a port can develop and function properly by leaving its development and operation in the hands of transportation companies, than to expect that the Pennsylvania Railroad could be operated efficiently with a separate board of executives and a separate poiicy in Philadelphia, in New York, in Chicngo, and in Pittsburgh; nor if that great system had separate executives to handle its line haul, yard operations, passenger business, freight business, freight-houses, and passenger stations.
